SPEED SHAPE
I have spent the last 8 weeks working on my shiny Baltic Blue Speed Shape. All the labor and frustrations paid off because I learned alot and was ranked in the top 5. It is all about smooth shiny surface finish and speed. I loved the project so much I want to do it again but make some improvements in the form and painting finish. You can't seem them but there are a few imperfections. Here are a few shots of it, I have several more so I will see if I can find any better ones and photo shop out any distractions in the mirror. It is so fun to feel how smooth it is and follow the highlights and reflections with your eyes. When you all come to UT you can feel it. It is very very satisfying to know that I started with absolutly nothing then ended up with this, the concept I started with was a tear drop.

Jordy .... you did an awesome job on this project! The lines and the shine are incredible. I am very proud of you..... and I know just how you feel... after having the most awesome children in the whole world, I too can say "It is very very satisfying to know that I started with absolutly nothing then ended up with this," That is the great quote of my life and to think that my youngest son came up with not only an award winning Baltic Blue Speed Shape but a terrific quote to boot! Love you... MOM
